Dr. Nagata's philosophy integrates neuromuscular dentistry into all aspects of comprehensive dental treatment. This approach ensures you receive a balance of healthy function and beautiful aesthetics.

Dr. Nagata also recognizes that a cooperative, multi-disciplinary approach including the care of Physicians, Surgeons, Chiropractors or Physical Therapists, where indicated, is in the best interests of his patients.

Neuromuscular Dentistry requires that patients
be evaluated as follows:

1. Jaw joints - determine correct position for long-term comfort
   
   
2. Facial muscles - correct jaw jonit position relaxes muscles,
   prevents spasm
   
   
3. Posterior occlusion - determine correct vertical of back teeth,
   then restore
   
   
4. Anterior occlusion - evaluate front teeth for function and aesthetics
   
   
5. Dental aesthetics - restore smile when above support
